RUDY AWARD - FINISHED! THE SHORT STORY

The dog has been walked, the bike has been washed, groceries bought, and laundry is underway ... I'm tired and very happy; its been a long journey, but with the completion of the Rudy Lakes bike tour, I am have completed all the events in this year's edition of the Rudy Award.

First off, I want to thank Rudy Hollywood for being the crazy and great guy that he is and keeping the Rudy Award vision a live and kicking.

Second, I want to thank both Rudy and Joan for opening their home this weekend and their warm hospitality.

Last, but not least, I want to thank Kawal Deogun for talking me into doing the Rudy Award events. Without his encouragement, I would not be writing this today.

For the record -
February 8 - Really Cool 8K
February 17 - Keskinada Loppet (Classic 53K)
April 15 - Ironman Arizona
May 27 - National Capital Marathon
June 9/10 - Rudy Lakes Bicycle Tour

I will work on a longer version when I have more energy.

Thanks again to everyone who made the Rudy Award events so much fun!
